Her condition is unknown but she suffered serious injuries, police said.

The drivers of the other two vehicles were not injured, police said.

The driver of a GMC Sierra was traveling east on Swamp Pike at 2:47 p.m. and two sedans were traveling west on the same road, Limerick Police Chief Bill Albany said. Although police have not determined the details of the crash, all three vehicles were involved.

More than a dozen rescue workers were on the scene helping the victims, speaking to witnesses and spreading absorbent material to soak up oil and other fluids that leaked from the vehicles. Rescue workers were giving medical assistance to the seriously injured teenager while waiting for the helicopter to arrive.

All of the vehicles had extensive front-end damage. The Sierra was turned over on the passenger side and the front axle was bent so much that the front left tire was close to the front right tire. The driver was able to get out the car after the accident, police said. The vehicle driven by the injured teenager did not flip over but the front drivers side was collapsed and the hood was crushed.

The third vehicle, also driven by a teenager, came to a stop on the east side of Neiffer Road.

The Limerick Police are working with the Montgomery County Detectives Re-creation Team to determine the cause of the accident, which Chief Albany said appeared to be a crossover incident.
